Jorge Martin set for Ducati MotoGP seat

Jorge Martin will move up to the MotoGP class next ღseason, with a place atꦇ the Pramac Ducati team.

The former Moto3 world champion currently rides for the KTM-backed Ajo squad in Moto2 and the Austrian f🎐actory was thought to have an option on Martin's services for 2021.

That option, combined with rumoured MotoGP interest from Honda, led Pramac team mana💎ger Francesco Guidotti to recently state. "If Ducati will be able t꧙o sign Maဣrtin, I think it would be a miracle".

But the miracle has now happened, with Ducati sources confirming to ltxcn.top that the 22-year-old is set to join Pramac.

At first glance, it would appear the highly-rated Spa♑niard - who claimed two p🤡odiums during his rookie Moto2 campaign – will be a direct replacement for Jack Miller, who is stepping up to the Official team next season.

However, Miller﷽'s team-mate Francesco Bagnaia is yet to be confirmed as remaining with Pramac for 2021🉐.

Ducati currently has five riders - Andrea Dovizioso (Official team), Danilo Petrucci (Official&n🎀bsp;team), Jack Miller (Pramac), Francesco Bagnaia (Pramac) and Johann Zarco (Avintia) - under direct factory contract.

Martin now joins Miller in having a Ducati contract 😼beyond 2020 (Tito Rabat's contract is with Avintia) and also becomes the first rookie on ne🦄xt year's grid.

Petrucci has ▨already acknowledged Miller's move means he will need to leave Ducati, and is being link🧔ed with Aprilia, while team-mate and triple title runner-up Dovizioso is still in negotiations over a new contract.

Pramac will again join the Factory team in having the latest-spec Desmosedicis for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:both of its riders next season, with Avintia remaining on GP19s.

Meanwhile, the disrupted nature of this year's world championship means KTM 𓂃wants to keep all four of its exist💃ing MotoGP riders - Pol Espargaro, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira and Iker Lecuona - for 2021, but there are rumours surround𓂃ing Espargaro's future.
